Readit NewsHe's got quite a few (albeit politically tinted) interviews with the Hoover Foundation on Youtube.

Aside from that I can personally recommend exercise, d3, sunlight and a regular bed time.
Know that depression makes everything suck, you wont enjoy things you used to. Even if your life was great you wouldnt enjoy it. But you will again once you get over the chemical imbalances in your brain. I'm rooting for you.
Not a fan personally...
Gasoline cars already pay tax per mile, as gas is very heavily taxed. Electric cars do too, as electricity is also taxed pretty heavily. (Notice a trend yet?)
The only advantage is that there can be a more fine grained taxation of cars, based on time and location. But I don't trust my government with that kind of data.
What's becoming clear though is the only thing stopping us from lots of Earth-mass planets is the abilities of our detectors to detect ever-smaller gravitational wobbles and ever-smaller transits. Bear in mind we only tend to find planets around stars where we're on their ecliptic planes.
So planets seem to be really common. If they weren't the odds of finding planetary systems on our nearest stellar neighbour would be quite low.
But the distances are still so vast that the energy expenditure and timelines are completely impractical (if you assume the speed of light of a hard cosmic limit, which I do).
So if planets are common and interstellar travel is impractical, the only way to expand really is around your own star. This is the Dyson Swarm. This would actually solve the energy issue of interstellar travel (ie"stellar highways") so it's almost a prerequisite. Thing is, Dyson Swarms are likely detectable from vast distances due to their IR emissions (ie the only way to get rid of heat is to radiate it into space and that has a specific frequency depending on the temperature of the radiating object).
But if planets are really common and we don't see any Dyson Swarms it seems that spacefaring life is extremely rare and the most likely number of such civilizations in the Milky Way is 1 including us.
Do we really know enough to be able to say if a planet is habitable? Or could there be other forms of life that we don't know of yet... We have only recently put a man on the moon, and now we're saying we would be able to detect dyson spheres...?
I'm sure that is the same reason why many once people believed the earth was flat, or that the earth was at the center of the universe.
It's very arrogant to think that "the science" and "the facts" are always right. Any scientist worth their money understands the importance of challenging the status quo. Unfortunately nowadays, especially on the topic of COVID, challenging the status quo is enough to be considered a pariah by narrow-minded people like yourself.
